So what’s an exosome? Cells are constantly sending messages to each other. One way they do that is by packing molecules into tiny bubbles called exosomes and releasing them. They’re really small, about 30 to 150 nm across. Inside, they carry microRNAs and proteins. When a stem cell’s exosomes reach damaged heart tissue, that cargo can calm down inflammation, cut down on scarring, keep the surviving heart muscle alive, and help new blood vessels grow (McMullan et al., 2025).</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/samved-gazzala/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
